Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 982: It's A Proposal?

Chapter 982: It's A Proposal?

This sudden proclamation of love brought indescribable happiness to Shui Xian. Wasn't that a proclamation of love? If that wasn't, then he didn't know what else was.          

    

He was so taken aback by this that he had no words. No words at all.     

It wasn't just an 'I love you' from her. That phrase was nothing before what she just said.      

For a long time already, he had come to peace with the fact that he couldn't expect his wife to be the same as others. He was ready to not hear that she loved him. Even if he could feel it, it was entirely different when she said it. It held some different emotions when she said it.      

Shui Xian held up his hands to cover his face as he didn't dare look into her eyes. He wasn't able to do so. He felt like he'd get greedier if he did look into her eyes right now. Besides, he was so beyond himself right now with joy and really wasn't sure what to say right now or what to do.     

What do people do when their wives express their love for them?      

"Are you crying?" asked Raelle when she saw him hiding his face from her.     

"No," he replied, even though right now a sheen of moisture could be seen in his eyes. Who asked him to love her so much? Wouldn't it be normal for a husband to hear his wife saying she loved him? But it felt so foreign to him.     

He couldn't believe she managed to make him even more of an emotional mess than he already was. This didn't suit his image in the corporate world. If any one saw him being this emotional, he'd really lose face.      

"Why aren't you looking at me right now then?" asked Raelle.     

Shui Xian took a deep breath and lowered his hands to look at her. Only then did Raelle see the happiness that seemed to be spilling from all over him. His smile looked even more attractive than usual.     

"Who are you trying to impress with that smile?"     

"Are you impressed?" he asked in return.     

"Me? I fell for it the very first time I saw it," was her honest response.     

Shui Xian chuckled as he was reminded of that time when she so bluntly told him that she liked his smile and he should smile more. And he, being a sucker for her actually listened to her. Even though he hadn't fallen in love with her back then.      

"Then why do you forget that I said, all my smiles belong to you," he said as he gazed at her lovingly.     

Standing outside the cinema, having this conversation. Shui Xian really didn't think it was a right place for this at all.     

"Are you touched by what I said?" she asked. "But didn't you already know that you're very special and very important to me?"     

"Knowing that is different than hearing you say that you love me," he answered.      

"Do you wanna get more touched?" she asked out of nowhere and Shui Xian raised his brow at her. He didn't think she'd say something casually. There was definitely some context behind this question that he wasn't aware of. But did it matter?     

According to Master Xian, it didn't matter at all!     

"What are you up to?"     

Raelle pulled out a bouquet of tissue papers??? What the hell! Those were really tissue papers rolled into flowers and made a small bouquet she held it up to him and got on her one knee before him startling Shui Xian.     

This scene. Something was wrong here. Something was seriously wrong here but he couldn't help the smile widening on his face.      

"The movie taught me something else too," she started. "It said, if you found your meaning of love, you should do everything possible to make that person yours and stay together. My love's meaning is you so I want to spend my life with you, Xian. Will you marry me?"     

He couldn't believe it right now. What was wrong today? Why did she suddenly become so expressive with her feelings without a warning? It was really too much for his heart to take in. But even if he died right now, he thought it'd be worth it.         

    

"Raelle, we are already married," he reminded her with tears shining in his eyes and a smile on his face. It was a strange combination but it expressed his feelings very well. "We already promised to spend our lives together. Remember?"     

"I remember," she replied. "But that was out of loyalty. I'm a very committed person. When I decided to commit to you, a promise of a lifetime meant a lifetime. That wouldn't change. However, now the situation is different. Back then it was loyalty but this time, it's because I really want to spend my life with you. It's because I guess, I really do love you, Shui Xian. I never thought I'd say this in my life but as someone said, life is full of uncertainties. See? Here I am, really saying the word love that I thought had nothing to do with me." She held his hand and continued to hold his gaze as she went on, "I don't know if my definition of love matches yours or not, but I can assure you, my feelings might not be worse than yours are for me."     

Shui Xian's tears really fell this time and he pulled her up into his arms, hugging her tightly as he buried his face into her neck, breathing in her scent to remind himself that this was real.     

"You're gonna be the death of me," he said as his hot breath caressed her skin.     

"Why don't you make me the reason for your living instead?" she suggested with a serious face and Shui Xian stilled.     

Then his arms tightened around her as he whispered, "You really think you already aren't the reason why I look forward to life?"
